Let's Divorce As Agreed

Her manager tried hard to dissuade her. The store opening was just a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Gu Huanhuan just needed to say a few nice words and it wouldn’t take too long.

Gu Huanhuan recalled what Shu Pan told her earlier. That her grandfather had been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment and Gu Shaoting was there.

She felt a little calmer but still beat herself up for being unfilial. She urged her manager to inform the store people to get on with the opening ceremony so she could leave as soon as possible.

Soon, everything on the program rundown happened and Gu Huanhuan’s job was over rather quickly.

After her job ended, Gu Huanhuan apologized to the store people and immediately asked the driver to send her back to Bin City.

Thankfully, there weren’t too many cars on the expressway today. They arrived at Bin City very quickly and Gu Huanhuan had already removed her makeup when she was in the car.

Because she was making an appearance as the brand’s youthful ambassador, she was dressed casually and didn’t need to change.

When they arrived in Bin City, the driver had to go back to the office to fetch someone so Gu Huanhuan drove to the hospital herself.

She drove often so she was an experienced driver.

However, despite her competency, she was still stunned when she arrived at the hospital’s parking lot.

It was so full. Finding a parking space was harder than climbing Mount Everest. She began to regret driving to the hospital…

Couldn’t she have taken a taxi? She wouldn’t have to fret over finding a parking space if she did that…

She chided herself as she opened her eyes wide, hoping to find a space. She circled the parking lot a few times and finally saw a spot.

It was as if the heavens had heard her prayer. She slowly reversed the car into the space but it was a little tight. Gu Huanhuan did not know if she was nervous, but when she reversed her car, she was slanted to one side and scraped the black car in the next lot.

Gu Huanhuan screamed “sh*t” in her heart and quickly went forward, turned her steering wheel, and backed in again.

After she got out of her car, she looked at the black car next to hers. There was a slight dent and some paint had been scraped off. However, the owner was not there and she was in a hurry to see her grandfather.

So, she took out an eyebrow pencil and wrote her phone number on a paper serviette. She slipped the serviette between the windshield wipers of the black car and hoped that the car owner would contact her when they saw the note.

She really didn’t have much time, so she quickly left.

When Gu Huanhuan arrived at the emergency department, Grandpa still hadn’t come out of the operating theater.

It wasn’t until around six o’clock in the evening that the door to the operating theater finally opened.

Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan stood up from their seats at the same time, and everyone quickly walked to the door.

After walking a few steps, they saw the old master being wheeled out on a hospital gurney. He was wearing an oxygen mask and looked very peaceful. A group of tired doctors and nurses walked out with him.

“Dad…” Gu Shaoting’s uncle was closest to the door, so he ran up to the old master first.

“Grandpa!” Gu Shaoting’s footsteps were a little hurried, but he didn’t let go of Shu Pan’s hand. He walked up quickly to the gurney with Shu Pan.

Shu Pan also called out, “Grandpa…”

She called out to him twice softly. She felt that Grandpa had become older and frailer after this ordeal. He had tubes coming out from various parts of his body and his breathing was weak and labored.

“Grandpa.” Gu Shaoting called out to Old Master Gu again before he looked up at the attending doctor.

The doctor met his gaze, walked to the side and took off his mask before he said, “Old Master Gu’s condition isn’t very optimistic. After all, he’s getting on in years. It won’t be easy to recover…”

Gu Shaoting was too dazed to listen to the rest of the doctor’s words. Shu Pan could clearly feel his hand tremble when the doctor said the words “isn’t very optimistic”.
